MANUSCRIPT: Mobile tablet use among academic physicians and trainees.

The rapid adoption rate and integration of mobile technology (tablet computing devices and smartphones) by physicians is reshaping the current clinical landscape. These devices have sparked an evolution in a variety of arenas, including educational media dissemination, remote patient data access and point of care applications. Quantifying usage patterns of

The New ArcheViewer Administrative Experience: The Emergence of Data-Driven Educational Planning

When we set out to transform online learning in medicine through a data driven e-learning delivery and assessment model we knew that, if successful, our educational partners would need an even more effective and efficient way to manage activity creation and data analyses. Thanks to the success of our educational partners, we

MANUSCRIPT: What can we learn from narratives in medical education?

Medical literature has demonstrated the effectiveness of narrative writing in enhancing self-reflection and empathy, which opens the door for deeper understanding of patients' experiences of illness. Similarly, it promotes practitioner well-being. Therefore, it is no surprise that narrative writing finds a new home in medical education. The Accreditation Council of

MANUSCRIPT: Learning behaviour and preferences of family medicine residents under a flexible academic curriculum

MANUSCRIPT: Continuing medical education revisited: theoretical assumptions and practical implications: a qualitative study

Recent research has evidenced that although investment in Continuing Medical Education CME, both in terms of participation as well as financial resources allocated to it, has been steadily increasing to catch up with accelerating advances in health information and technology, effectiveness of CME is reported to be rather limited. Poor

MANUSCRIPT: Evaluating the Guideline Enhancement Tool (GET): an innovative clinical training tool to enhance the use of hypertension guidelines in general practice

BackgroundThis project aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an innovative educational intervention in enhancing clinical decision making related to the management of hypertension in general practice. The relatively low level of uptake of clinical practice guidelines by clinicians is widely recognised as a problem that impacts on clinical outcomes. This

ABSTRACT: Cognitive Load Theory: implications for medical education: AMEE Guide No. 86

Cognitive Load Theory (CLT) builds upon established models of human memory that include the subsystems of sensory, working and long-term memory. Working memory (WM) can only process a limited number of information elements at any given time. This constraint creates a "bottleneck" for learning. CLT identifies three types of cognitive

ABSTRACT: A novel approach to needs assessment in curriculum development: going beyond consensus methods

BACKGROUND: Needs assessment should be the starting point for curriculum development. In medical education, expert opinion and consensus methods are commonly employed. AIM: This paper showcases a more practice-grounded needs assessment approach. METHODS: A mixed-methods approach, incorporating a national survey, practice audit, and expert consensus, was developed and piloted in thrombosis medicine; Phase 1: National
